SIRI Daily Thread - Tuesday 12/18

Day two of the daily thread experiment.

I'm always curious, what else are you guys investing in besides SIRI? Is everyone here spec stock crazy (I'm not saying SIRI is spec anymore) or do you guys actually invest in other more traditionally boring stable stocks? Something else to chat about as the day goes on.

I bought a bunch of bank stocks back in 08 went things went south but didn't sell when they got the pop 2010 so, I'm just starting to see some modest gains now. Not trading those stocks was probably my biggest investing mistake. I'm more of a buy and hold guy.

I've made as much with P puts as I have with SIRI calls. I'm a gambler. When things look bad and I'm out of my SIRI overcore I'll generally buy P puts in $500 lots. I either lose the $500 or multiply it. I was lucky to have them for the last drop after the earnings call.
